Fifty-eight bowl of soup (eight)

In the dark night, the snow-white castle seemed particularly conspicuous. For some reason, when they went out, the moon was still very round and very big. What was strange was that as soon as they passed through the dense woods, the moon suddenly turned into a dark blue ink color, hanging in the sky white, which was inexplicably a bit creepy.

It was clearly summer, but it was originally hot, but now they suddenly felt a little cold.

Staring at the castle in the night, a girl gently pulled her boyfriend's arm: "Carl, we'd better not go in, right? I'm afraid..."

"There's nothing to be afraid of." Carl comforted his girlfriend, patted the back of her hand, and stared at the legendary haunted castle with curiosity and a little excited. He is a college student. He usually likes supernatural things, often writes articles for novels and magazines, and especially likes to watch horror movies. Of course, his favorite is to explore various places where there are ghosts, because he doesn't believe that there will be ghosts in the world!

If there is, then he really wants to see it.

The girl was held by her boyfriend, and she felt a little relieved. The five of them had two couples in total, both of whom were from the supernatural research club and liked these strange things the most, but the girl didn't like them. The reason why she joined was because her boyfriend Carl was the founder of the club. Otherwise, she would never not sleep in the middle of the night, not play during the holidays, but followed her boyfriend and others to explore.

The nightingale cries came from time to time around, and the sound was indescribable. They continued to walk forward. The light of the flashlight seemed to be swallowed by a gradually spreading mist, and they could only see the three or two steps ahead.

The girl grabbed Carl's arm tightly, and tears were almost flowing out of her eyes. She bit her lip and stared at the castle not far away.

Legend has it that this is the place where the greatest and best Duke of Lance, the empire, lived fifty years ago. He was handsome and elegant. There were countless ladies in the empire who had a crush on him. Later, Her Majesty the Queen took the initiative and married a noble lady named Nicole to him as his wife. I heard that the duke and his wife fell in love very much, but not long after this happy day, one day, the whole castle suddenly disappeared!

All servants, including the master! Of course, Lord Lance and his wife!

Later, the Queen's Great Far ordered Duke Lance's wife's father, Duke Abby, to investigate, but after a long time of investigation, there was no clue at all. The castle was quiet and silent, and Duke Abby lost his beloved daughter, so he naturally wanted to find the culprit, but the strange thing was that they didn't even find a body in the castle!

If it weren't for the blood of the earth, they would have thought that the Duke of Reims had left with his wife and all his servants.

Of course, this is impossible. Duke Lance is from Country E, and he has no reason to leave, let alone he has never seen them leave. Even if Duke Lance wants to leave with his wife, why is there no servant left in the castle?

Later, after a long time, this became a unsolved case. The Queen no longer had to worry about this matter, so she prepared to clean up the castle and reward it to other ministers with meritorious deeds. But at this moment, something strange happened!

The minister who moved in took his whole family out a few days later, and the Queen refused to go in again if she promised the benefits! The Queen had no choice but to give the castle to many people, but no one could live in it for a week, and basically she cried and wanted to leave for two or three days.

Over time, rumors of the castle haunted also emerged.

Gradually, this place, once called the most beautiful castle, was completely abandoned, no one had ever lived in or mentioned it again, and it had completely become an existence that people avoided talking about.

Fifty years have passed, and finally someone is ready to find out what the haunted castle is.

Before this, Carl had been to many terrifying places that are said to be haunted, but he was disappointed every time. He did not believe in ghosts in the world, but he liked supernatural time very much. What he loved to do was to use his own personal experience to tell the so-called haunted places.

So he not only brought a flashlight, but also a camera. Everyone has one on their hat to record what they see. Otherwise, how can they brag when they go out?

At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came. The girl hugged Carl in fear. Carl was also startled. Then she saw a group of bats flying out of the fog, and then she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, don't be afraid, it's just a bat."

"Bat..." The girl couldn't help thinking about the vampire plot, and she gritted her teeth and asked Carl: "Are we really not going? I think this time is different from before..."

"What's the difference? It's not a lie." Another girl named Mei said disdainfully, "Susan, if you are afraid, go back. No one asks you to follow you. Every time you explore, you are afraid and scared. If you want us to go back, what's the difference this time is from before?"

Susan bit her lip, but she just thought it was strange this time...

"Okay, it's okay, I'll protect you, believe me, huh?"

Susan looked at Carl's face and nodded hesitantly.

Walking from the fog to the castle, they thought it took at most fifteen minutes when they were visually watching in the woods, but now they have been walking for more than an hour. A boy named Mark asked Carl: "Are we going wrong?"

"Impossible, the positioning of the phone is obvious... Eh?" Carl looked at the phone in shock and found that the positioning was not displayed. He said regretfully: "It's so bad, my phone is actually broken."

The others took out their phones and saw that fortunately, they were fine, which means that Carl's phone had a problem. They firmly believed that the direction was correct, so they continued to move forward, and this time they finally walked smoothly to the entrance of the castle.

There were spider webs hanging on the black and golden door. Three men pushed the door open with force, and the entire living room suddenly seemed particularly desolate. The swimming pool outside had already dried up, and the careful gardener had lost all the roses and all had withered. The huge area left showed how prosperous the castle was once, and how many people were proud of being invited to visit. The hall was very long, with a long table, and there was no sound around. Carl said to the camera: "Look, I just said that all the legendary haunted places are lies! I--"

"ah------!!!"

Everyone was shocked and came to their senses, and found that it was Mei who screamed. "What's wrong?"

Mei trembled and pointed to a corner: "There is a woman there just now, and suddenly she disappeared!"

"How is that possible, are you dazzled?" Mark laughed at her.

"I don't! I'm not Susan, I won't scream casually. All I said is true!" Mei was unhappy.

"Then let's go over and take a look," said Carl, the most courageous.

They walked over carefully, and there was nothing. Just as everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Susan suddenly pointed to the ground and asked, "What do you think this is?"

The floor was covered with dust because no one lived in it for many years, but there was a layer of black and red on the floor here. Carl bent down and twisted a little with his fingers and put it under his nose, which changed color, "It's blood!"

"That should be left by Duke Lance back then, that's normal!"

"Normal nonsense! How many years have passed? The Queen has given the castle to so many people. How could it be blood? And after so many years, how could it be that the smell of blood is so strong!" Mark scolded impatiently.

"Johnson, what do you think?" May turned to ask his boyfriend, but found that Johnson was not listening to him at all, but looked behind him stupidly. "Johnson, Johnson?"

Johnson's hands were shaking, and they also explored many so-called haunted places together, but no one could ever give him such a discomfort. "Look at... when we came... when we came..."

The ground was dusty, and there were footprints where they walked, but now all of them were gone except under their feet!

Then suddenly he heard the slow ticking sound. Everyone turned around and found that there was a time when the long table started to drip blood. One drop or two... fell to the ground and turned into a dry black and red blood clot.

They were all frightened and even forgot to run away.

"You said you've never seen a ghost?"

This sentence suddenly came from the dead air, and the five people were even scared. Susan, the least courageous, even cried!

It was an old woman with a hideous face. At this moment, she was leaning on a crutch and appeared behind them at some point. Seeing several young people being scared to death, the old woman laughed loudly, and her face was almost impossible to see clearly, especially her facial skin, with bumpy pits and countless scars coming across, making her look particularly scary.

"You, who are you!"

"Didn't you say you've never seen a ghost? Now I'll come out and let you take a look." The old woman laughed even louder. She snapped her fingers, and there was a dullness around her, like the sound of fingernails scratching the wall.

The five people hugged each other and looked at the ghosts spreading out in the walls in fear. They rolled their faces and looked dull, but their expressions were full of fierceness. In this way, Susan took the lead, and the other four failed to hold on, and all rolled their eyes and fainted.

"Tsk, coward." The old woman who was originally hunched suddenly straightened up and stretched, "I have been dead for so many years, and I can't even scare people. I'll go back to the wall!"

The ghosts obediently and all rolled in. The old woman thought to herself that time has finally come and she can leave. As for the remaining ghosts... let them go. Lance's useless waste collapsed after only a few years of death. She was not as good as Nicole, but she had to withstand her torture for twenty years.

The next morning, Carl found them lying outside the woods. After returning to school, he never mentioned supernatural things again.
